ABSTRACT
Abstract Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has devastating consequences on joint function and the morbidity and mortality rate of patients who are victims of this serious complication. Although early diagnosis is one of the consensuses with well-established importance, routineworkup is still conducted on an empirical, inconsistent, and nonobjective basis in many centers around the world. The present article seeks to contextualize the current state of knowledge about the early diagnosis of PJIs, as well as to discuss the advances and perspectives, within a scenario of its routine use by the healthcare team responsible for managing this dreaded complication.
RESUMO
Resumo A infecção articular periprotética (IAP) tem consequências devastadoras sobre a função articular e sobre a taxa de morbimortalidade dos pacientes vitimados por esta grave complicação. Ainda que o diagnóstico precoce seja um dos consensos comimportância bem estabelecida, as rotinas de investigação são ainda conduzidas de forma empírica, inconsistente e pouco objetiva em muitos centros de todo o mundo. O presente artigo busca contextualizar a situação atual dos conhecimentos sobre o diagnóstico precoce das infecções articulares periprotéticas, assim como discutir os avanços e perspectivas, dentro de um cenário de sua aplicabilidade rotineira pela equipe médica responsável pelo manejo desta temida complicação.
